Yes, I also think it would, therefore growing the array record by 50%.
That doesn't sound very wholesome to me; I'd rather waive the feature
than suffer the added memory and runtime overhead.
We may hope that those who would compromise on their ressource usage
will at some future point of time be able to do so by using a dedicated
library array class or struct which implements this feature.
